Peter Hain will invoke his apartheid-battling past as his bid for the Labour deputy leadership officially gets under way.

The Northern Ireland Secretary will stress his campaigning background and strong convictions in a very personal appeal for support in the hotly-contested race.

Speaking at the launch event in central London, Mr Hain will say: "We need a campaigner as deputy who will inspire all those who share our values to come home to Labour, to join and vote for our party once again."

Mr Hain will describe how his own values were forged while growing up under the tyranny of apartheid in South Africa.

Yeah fantastic success story thats turning into...a wrecker if ever there was one ole Pete is..

One reason why some people become extremely hostile to anyone who violates a political correctness speech rule and utters some taboo truth is that the utterance of the truth serves as a reminder that others have been emasculated and silenced. For some it is humiliating to be reminded of one's own submission to the enforcers of taboos. So they lash out at those who speak the unspeakable.

Peter Hain shouldn't even be in our Parliament, let alone in the Cabinet. Not many people know his past as a 'Young Liberal'. When the South African Springboks' rugby team came over here in 1970, this vile Marxist wretch took it upon himself to put RAZOR BLADES in rugby balls! The man is a former petty terrorist himself so it is no wonder he had sympathies with the IRA and was a former member of the 'Troops Out' movement.

P.S. The last time I saw him on TV he was looking even more tanned than usual. Mr Permatan could rival Robert Kilroy-Silk in the tanning stakes. The future is bright, the future is Orange!!
